I have some of the PCBs that plug into the Dragon keyboard connector that accept a PI Pico. Requires a 16 pin connector, a Pico and a Micro USB cable. Or I could build it up as a finished board. Contact me if you're interested in the bare PCB or the completed board with the Pico and connector solder...

It will only be a very tiny fire :lol: It's for debugging purposes. I have about 15 laptop PSUs, it would have been really good if the 12v line had a buck converter too then it would handle 19v. That's the biggest risk that I see, that someone will plug in a laptop PSU and ruin a good Dragon. I've g...

Well I have been running Glen Hewlett's emulation of the original Williams Defender game using the original ROMs in XRoar CoCo3. It's fantastic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLdAvNj8HNI https://github.com/nowhereman999/Defender_CoCo3 As a hard core Defender fanatic for over 40 years my skills hav...

I was playing Astroblast and pile driving a hole in my thumb from the tiny button so I decided I needed a bigger button.

Final code; # Dragon 32 Keyboard to USB Keyboard suitable for XRoar with translate OFF # Wayland # # Uses KMK Librarys for PI Pico. # Uses Lee Smith's C64 PCB layout https://github.com/midicdj1000/RETRO-PICO-KMK-Keyboards # # The symbol keys do not actually return what's printed on them except in XR...

OK some progress with XRoar and the @ key problem. I've replaced KC.AT with KC.QUOT in the Python and added kbd-bind 'apostrophe'='at' to the xroar.conf file It works fine with XRoar because XRoar is doing that one little translation. It't not really true to Dragon hardware but the purpose of this i...

Yes, I've been keeping XRoar translation off and that means the ( and ) are above 8 and 9 as per the Dragon. Typing into a text editor shows the same keys as XRoar and @ comes up as " just the same. I did have it doing @ by setting the Pico code to " for the AT key but that only worked in the text e...
